to pickering to cheer on their favourite raider team as they took on the picker ing dolphins this time it was the atoms turn to win led by quarterback billy mcdonald they walked away victorious with a 260 win over pickering still looking for a win are coaches prefontaine and mathe- son whose peewees suffered a 466 loss to pickering coach roger millers bantams in a contest which was pretty evenly matched lost to pickering with a final score of 90 the atom offence which according to coach bill mcdo nald came together nicely after a shaky start fumbled the ball the first two times that they got their hands on it this might have been due to in experience and nerves on the part of billy mcdonald jr he replaced injured regular quarterback doug waldron who sustained an injury in last weeks game against burlington but it didnt take long for young bill to get it all together however he drove the offence downfield for two touchdowns and two con versions for a score of 140 for markham at the half the third quarter witnessed strong defensive plays by both teams preventing either side from making a successful drive fourth quarter action brought a third raider touchdown as pivot mcdonald pitched out to receiver billy shore who was able to break away for a 63yard run on a good block by greg mckenzie again driving past the goal post in the final play of the game shore brought the score up to 260 for the raiders we learned something today coach mcdonald told his players after the game if you hang tough and play tough you might make some points local mvps were greg mcken zie on offence and billy shore on defence coach prefontaines peewees whose quarterback derek cando- linni gave an outstanding per formance struggled from the start unable tocontrol the ball on the kickoff

peewees were able to get on the scoreboard for the first time since their 1985 season scrambling to break free from dolphin linesmen candolinni got off a 30 yard pass to wide receiver ted wyborn who beat out three defenders and sprinted over the goal to make it 246 for pickering by the half the score was 326 a third quarter fumble and fourth quarter interception allowed the dolphins to maximize again driv ing the score up to 466 for picker ing markham mvps were ted wyborn and dave carlaw both coach prefontaine and bantam coach miller blame the holiday for the poor player turn out which didnt help their teams if wed had more players out wed have done better said mil ler we only had 17 players and they ran out of gas by the end of the game although markham bantams lost to pickering 90 the game could really have gone either way as both defenses were able to successfully contain the opposing attackers the dolphins scored the first point of the game when after mis sing a field goal attempt they were able to tackle the markham receiver behind his own goal the score was still 10 at the half but pickering scored a touchdown in the third quarter to make it 70 pickering unfortunately for theraiders a fumble in the third quarter on the 10 yard line kept them from capitalizing on their scoring opportunity of the day finally in the fourth quarter the last two points of the game were scored on a safety as dolphin de- fensemen broke through the line to sack qb john walton behind his own zone markhams andrew thomas was defensive mvp while calvin headley who had a great run ning game earned the offensive honors its tough on them when you have to go both ways said the coach i more than expect that the next time we see pickering well be more than prepared the best way lb buy belter
